Calgary's Sikh community celebrates Khalsa with Nagar Kirtan

Tens of thousands of Calgarians are participating in the annual Nagar Kirtan parade, a major Sikh celebration, today. The event is expected to be one of the city's largest. The parade, starting at the Dashmesh Cultural Centre, is a celebration of the Khalsa, or Sikh nation, and aims to bring the community together. It offers opportunities for Kirtan and community service. Organizers hope the event, open to all, will foster understanding of Sikh culture and celebrate Calgary's diversity, especially after the challenges of recent years.
